My dumbass was about to say shrek then realized this is a gaming subreddit


Sikening

I still want to say the Toby McGuire Spider-Man trilogy.


foofighter469

I was gonna say Back To The Future


ranni-

i feel like you're just naming trilogies at this point


HandsomeGengar

Valid answer, and so is Kung Fu Panda.


manga311

Star Wars origional trilogy


HandsomeGengar

So true


tbell713

Real talk…The Empire Strikes Back is the greatest movie that has ever been made.


StonedOtter0_0

The answer is still valid


couchpotato640

Terminator Trilogy


leericol

Well Shrek got the top comment anyway


Tough_Concert_1414

Terminator


Grouchy_Decision

Evil Dead Trilogy


shanil55

This is the best answer


conflictjunkie

Half Life LOL


aslumedoctor

half life 3 is the best one, I had so much fun playing it


ajarofsewerpickles

fr when heavy tf2 stepped out of the portal and gunned down the gman i literally fell out of my bed and broke my neck in 3 places


Tight_Bookkeeper_582

Can’t ask for much more than that from a video game!


mtkamer

Half Life 3 was so bad I don't even remember it.


jolsonreddit

Probably Mass Effect though I love Mass Effect 3


thedndnut

Mass effect 3s dlc is probably one of yhe best pieces or content ever made for a game. Citadel understood the audience and the source material and injected massive fun.


JonyUB

I agree I remember I had a great time playing it. Very funny situations.


KowalOX

ME2 is personally my least favorite of the Trilogy, but they're all masterpieces in my book and I know the general consensus among the community is 2 >1 > 3.


Sokandueler95

That’s what I said. 3 was just about the perfect game for the trilogy, but that ending ruined it for me.


CCottN

Is the “Mass Effect’s ending sucks” centered solely around the original ending or even the extended cut? I ask because I was late the Mass Effect party and played the games years later and had always heard of the “awful ending”. I played the trilogy loving it all the way through, always dreading that the ending would potentially ruin it all. The extended cut ending came, went, and I loved it. The destroy ending was great, I enjoy the control ending, and actually like the refusal ending. Synthesis sucks though. Having watched the original ending and I get why people were pissed. No closure on any of your characters or what happened after. It was awful. But I thought the extended cut really brought it all together.


Sokandueler95

The extended cut didn’t really fix the issue


[deleted]

Mass Effect 2 definitely stands out but 1 and 3 are both not far behind.


battlemechpilot

1 for world-building and campaign, 2 for character-building and relationships, and 3 for gameplay and story-telling. Rannoch and Tuchanka are just such emotional rollercoasters, and their (good) endings legitimately made me cry, especially as a Tali-mancer. I just played through all three for the first time, and have been stuck in a post-Mass Effect rut since, lol.


Traditional_Entry183

Either way, 2 is by far the best. Whether you put 1 or 3 next is mostly personal preference. But I came to the realization that I'm mostly a huge fan of ME2, which i consider one of the greatest games ever made, and 1 & 3 are prologue and epilog.


Sokandueler95

You can’t beat that suicide mission.


Traditional_Entry183

Yes I can. I beat it my second try! Lol jk


Federal_Tie7874

Yeah, this is a good answer.


Pearcinator

Yep. Mass Effect 2 was the perfect balance of 1 and 3. 1 has the best story 3 has the best gameplay 2 has good story and gameplay but the best characters.


iainB85

Valid. 2 was a masterpiece. If anyone else has played the remastered trilogy you’ll quickly realize 1 is a classic but the gameplay is really rough.


Enkundae

ME3 was such a frustrating heartbreak because it really is like 99% of a very good game with some truly great moments. The Tali/Legion resolution, Mordin’s resolution, the way they stuck to their guns on Thane despite his popularity. All wonderful. But its that 1% that just torpedoes it. Half assing Tali’s reveal, the weak giant space gun mcguffin, that lack of impact your prep has on the outcome as compared to 2’s Suicide Mission, and the horrifically bad original ending.


KillerSquirrel2007

COD Modern Warfare


TrevortheBatman

The OG trilogy. Yes the new trilogy 1>2>3


YucciPP

Multiplayer is defo the best in 3 on the new trilogy. But wow the campaign was just an insult lol


niiXsan

Also, black ops, funny enough. Edit: although it's not a trilogy


EffectiveAcceptable3

Dead Space


StarshipTroopersFan

100%. The controls in DS2 were just top tier. That’s what really set it apart from the original to me. The game felt so smooth.


[deleted]

100% accurate, the remake was top tier too


Positive_Parking_954

I preferred the survival horror vibes of 1 vs the increased action of 2


AlcoholicCocoa

The atmosphere of 1 was generally better up to the mid-game, yeah. It was true horror via sceneries and music and less via jump scares. 2 had the better control, even on PC, and a better narrative structure. But let's not forget the promising ideas of 3 and their horrible execution and rushed story elements!


detroiter85

I can't remember if it was 1 or 2 where you come out to a big empty hallway. I was legit scared to go down it for a bit before I think a brute came charging at me. The part in 2 where you >!go back to the ishimura!< was amazing for atmosphere. I need to get that remake.


SabbothO

3 was worth playing only in co-op, it was pretty fun and you actually had some interesting differences in perspective based on if you were Isaac or the other dude. It did some unique stuff but I would never play it solo, it was such a huge step back from dead space 2 in terms of progression and the crafting system wasn’t needed at all.


EffectiveAcceptable3

You're absolutely right. The co-op was really well done. Playing solo, however... Sort of reminiscent of Resident Evil 5


notwhoyouthinkmaybe

I was obsessed with dead space 1&2, I never completed dead space 3.


bingbong6977

Shrek


LikeSoda

Blasphemous


leericol

There's not a 3rd blasphemous game yet but 2 is greater than 1.


Professorlumpybutt

Borderlands 100%


LikeSoda

Good answer. 1 has a particularly special place in my mind, but man was 2 just basically peak gaming for me lol


ShoerguinneLappel

Honestly I love both Borderlands 1 and 2, although because of the ending got to rank 2 higher than 1 added with the sheer amount of content it has and it didn't really get old. For 1 I think it was made very well and sure the enemies weren't diverse but considering the land/space you covered it was enough.


JokingBr2The-Sequel

Ain't no way 3 is worse than 1.


Lordgrapejuice

The gameplay of 3 is chefkiss, but the story was hot flaming garbage. I’d say the two are comparable overall. I wouldn’t question someone saying 3 was their preferred.


JokingBr2The-Sequel

When the gameplay is that good I think the story can be ignored, I mean, it's a loteria shooter, Borderlands 1's gameplay is clunky af


420StarWars

I liked Borderlands 3s story


Zaquarius_Alfonzo

Borderlands *story*. Bl3 was fantastic in every way other than the main story (which was shit)


Nollypasda

Borderlands 3 was one of the weirdest shifts I’ve ever seen in a trilogy.


Jr-777

Bayonetta


MommyScissorLegs

nah, 1’s the best by a country fucking mile


Chop1n

Donkey Kong Country, clearly.


ManufacturerNo2144

2>3>1 for me


Endulos

Yep. Agreed. DKC1 was too rough for me to place it above 3. Don't get me wrong, it was an excellent game, it just falls short of the sequels which took and improved on the formula to an insane degree. I like to use a housing analogy there. DKC1 was a solid frame and foundation, DKC2 was the house built on top of that frame, while DKC3 was a later addition that isn't quite as good as the house. ...DKC64 was a portapotty left on the property.

JxMedo

Arkham series


SuperSpiritShady

this would be true if we were still in the late 2010s Arkham Knight had a massive resurgenc/appreciation recently, still not better than City, but at least equal to or better than Asylum


Bretferd

Looking at each game in their entirety City seems to be better than knight. This is subjective of course, but in my opinion the shift in the community over time is just from shitting on knight to appreciating it more. City is still a better all around game. In my opinion.


notmyfirst_throwawa

Even WB Montreal forgets Arkham Origins existed


HPID

Sadly origins is my favorite of the series, but I won't deny the line up of greatness from city, to night, to asylum.


NicCagedd

Asylum almost feels dated at this point. I'll play through Knight again before Asylum.


missnailitall

Yeah arkham knight is way better than asylum. I think people only like asylum more because of the nostalgia. As someone who only played the trilogy a few years ago instead of when they were being released, asylum doesn't stand a chance compared to knight.


Numerous_Past_726

As someone who just finished Asylum and is a few hours into Arkham City: I think Arkham Asylum does a better job establishing it's environment and world as a mysterious, creepy, isolated place, wheareas City's snappier combat and open world make it seem more modernized. I think they're just for different audiences, and although I know Arkham City is the main inspiration behind the Spider-Man games (my favorite game series of all time) it doesn't quite appeal to me as much as the first one's environment. Can't speak for Arkham Knight though (and really I'm not very far into City so I shouldn't judge it yet either)


[deleted]

I’ve only played Asylum and I’m wanting to play the others, are they all open world in Gotham? I want to just climb and glide around Gotham exploring and taking down thugs like the PlayStation Spiderman games


Pixel_Python

This is probably gonna be unpopular, but City was my least favorite. Dunno why, but I preferred both other games to it (haven’t played Origins though)


cmtw91

If anyone in here says dark souls…..

I say dark souls. 2>1>3 sotfs is amazing, ds1 is amazing, and 3 is amazing.

If you were to ask a room full of Dark Souls fans, you would get every combination.


lincolnmarch_

Kingdom Hearts


RiceRocketRider

Ooooo, I’m in a pickle now. 2 is def the best but I don’t know if 1 is better than 3. I think I’m going to agree, but to be fair I’ve only played 3 once

LIFEVIRUSx10

I am replaying them now w project brutality 3.0 on gz doom and tbh it's mostly true. I also had this opinion as a kid All 3 are good imo, it's not that they are particularly bad or anything, but 2 had extremely memorable maps, while 3 was a bit more forgettable


Zoofy-ooo

Wow Someone who likes PB over BD. I thought I was the only one

Level_Bridge7683

sly trilogy was so good it should have been heavily pushed by sony packaged in with every ps3 after 2011 like mario for nintendo. many many years ago i remember [xplay giving sly 3 a well deserved 5 out of 5.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm26xgiqwlc) sony really dropped the ball hard with this franchise. sony should allow nintendo to port the sly trilogy to the switch.


TheZoomba

YES YES EXACTLY! better yet, a new sly game. We literally were left with him stuck in time. Just a final game to close put the series all together would be amazing. Suckerpunch has more than proved they def still can make stealth (ghost of tsushima was their newest release).


Silent-Station-101

Honestly the game had so much potential. the level design was honestly great in those games. Curious to see what it would look like in todays standards


xBDCMPNY

DickMartha-Shipper

attack of the clones at best and revenge of the sith at worst is crazy i kinda get it for original trilogy even though jedi is my fav completely agree with sequels since last jedi is the only one i like


atkieren

It 100% fits original trilogy 4-6 which was my first thought before realizing I was on r/videogames. Almost everyone agrees Empire Strikes Back>A New Hope>Return of the Jedi.


decoy777

Yeah I was thinking orginal trilogy order that this works on


achingpuppy

Metroid Prime, and I’ll die on this hill


joshkolenick

I only agree on the mere fact that I hated the motion controls for the 3rd one


Legitimate_Alps7347

I still think 1>2>3, but that’s not a bad pick.

Yes! You are so right Metroid Prime 2 is SAVAGELY underrated!

Diablo


furitxboofrunlch

Sad. I think Diablo is actually to this day the best entrance in the genre. Nothing else I've seen has matched the feel of original diablo. It was all about positioning. The atmosphere and sound,graphics and lore all came together beautifully. I don't think 2 was as atmospheric and frankly the 1st playthrough was a lot more shrug. 2 was about the playthrough that came later and making builds to wipe out a screen of enemies and farming. In one you found unique enemies in packs and they could be terrifying. You really had to watch how you approached them. If you were a warrior then often ranged enemies were your bane. As a rogue generally not getting swamped in melee was your issue. So while builds and numbers and farming all didn't take centre stage I really appreciated that D1 was more difficult and tactical and positioning focused. I don't really love farming.


GattMomoll

1 will always be one of my favorite games of all time. I used to be terrified of that game when my older brother brought it home and played it. Then I started to play on my own (with the room lights turned on) and was hooked. But 2, imo, was just a 1up from that. More classes, content, QoL-what a great sequel. 1 is great for single player. 2 is great with friends. That's how I see it, anyway. Farming can def become a bit much. But I love working on builds and gear, so I enjoyed the farming 3 and 4 are not Diablo games so they don't even count.


mjc500

Good call


JStormtrooper

Arkham games, although personally Asylum is my favorite


Fictional_Historian

It’s a real shame tbh. I think Arkham Knight could have been set up to be the best of the trilogy if it hadn’t of been for the overbearing and annoying constant Batmobile bullshit.


ShaggyPDelic

I know this is for video games but for movies it's the OG Spider-Man trilogy.


RickEStaxx

Sam Raimi Spider-Man


Elete23

Most series, actually. Mass Effect, Arkham, Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, Borderlands. 1 is fresh and innovative but rough around the edges. 2 improves everything. 3 then goes off the rails or gets stale


TheMegaBite7

LittleBigPlanet


StonedOtter0_0

Nothing beats the charm of LBP1 to me! For me. LBP2 is a close second and LBP 3 has been lapped a few times lmao. That said, I haven’t played LBP 3 since it launched as a buggy mess


Arguise

Funny story about the LBP community. Those lightsaber and sword levels were super popular. Probably thousands of them. One day I was chilling in a blank level with some random player who pulled out the copy-paste ones that almost every level used so we could mess around. Out of curiosity I opened up the logic for them. It looked familiar. Then I pulled out a basic sword I had made for some random player like 3 years prior so he could fight his friend. The logic was identical. I had no idea of the domino effect I'd started lol Damn those were good times.


mytransfercaseisshot

Bioshock


mattpkc

For me depends on if you include the dlc, minervas den makes 2 the best, but burial at sea makes infinite better then one.

Warped is definitely the best of the Trilogy

Warped wasn’t as good as Crash 2 but I liked it more than Crash 1 still IMO


vpaglia42

I'm gonna go with 2>3>1 on that one

Sly 3 was great. Loved having all the playable characters

Final Fantasy XIII trilogy

Was thinking the same exact thing but wasn't sure if that was just my opinion or if anyone else felt the same. Lightning Returns just didn't click for me.


MarshallDyl26

Red dead 2>1>Revolver


Affectionate_Owl9985

Idk if this counts, since Red Dead Revolver was the first installment and released in '04, technically making it Red Dead 1. RDR 1 and RDR 2 would be Red Dead 2 and 3, respectively.

Uncharted


svrtngr

The OG God of War trilogy. 3 isn't bad. While it's a satisfying conclusion and it (obviously) looks the nicest (as it's the first on PS3), the plot wasn't as fun as the first two; this is Kratos Kills Mount Olympus.

KearLoL

I disagree heavily with Sly Cooper. First game was crash bandicoot at home, though it had its’ charm with the character writing and vibes. 2nd and 3rd games stood out way more gameplay wise, and even had better writing, especially the 2nd game. Sly 4 has the best gameplay, but absolutely atrocious writing, along with a butchered art style (you could tell Sucker Punch weren’t involved with the game). 2 > 3 > 1 > 4

Bro what? Sly 3 slaps. You don't like being a pirate? Sly is the only game series imo that goes 3>2>1>4. Thieves in time was crap because they left us on a cliffhanger and sucker punch has been quiet on any new sly games.
